- transplant sedum to the side of the house (it grows too big around the front porch and dwarfs our boxwood row-- see what I mean)
- plant limelight hydrangea behind the new row of sedum
- create a container garden of boxwood on the front porch
- plant ivy along retaining walls of driveway
I'm sure the list will grow and change as the months progress, but this is what I've got brewing right now. And, I realize that I never shared an "after" blog post on our new cobblestone driveway! That will definitely be in the works for the spring (as soon as everything turns green, making for much prettier pictures).
While I wait for my first day of serious yard work, I've been gathering more and more inspiration on my Pinterest page. Here are some of my faves...
love the ivy beds here
my absolute DREAM. Tall cypress trees = total privacy.

(please excuse Julianne) Love the ivy above the retaining wall.
I LOVE this grouping with the woven outdoor furniture and bright white cushions.
We have four woven outdoor club chairs on the front porch from Target. We bought them a few years ago and while I'm not totally in love with the style, I do really like them (and we honestly sit in them almost everyday in the warmer months). Also, they're incredibly durable. Should I buy a couple of matching ottomans this year? I'm thinking I should.
Looking forward to warmer days!!
